[edit] Biography
When Ip Man was thirteen years old he started learning Wing Chun from Chan Wah-shun (陈华顺). Because of his sifu's old age, Ip Man had to learn much of his skills and techniques from his master's second eldest disciple Ng Chung-sok (吴仲素). Three years into Ip Man’s training Chan Wah-shun died. One of his dying wishes was to have Ng continue training Ip. At the age of 15 Ip man moved to Hong Kong with help from Leung Fut Ting, a relative. At age sixteen, Yip Man attended school at St. Stephen's College in Hong Kong [6] . It was a secondary school for wealthy families and foreigners who lived in Hong Kong. According to Ip Man's two sons[7], while at St. Stephen's Ip Man intervened after seeing a foreign police officer beating a woman. The story goes that the Police officer tried to strike Ip Man who used his martial arts to strike the officer down, at which point Ip Man and his classmate ran to school. The classmate is said to have told an older man who lived in his apartment block. Ip Man was invited to see this man and the man asked Ip Man what martial art he studied. The man then asked Ip Man to show him his first 2 forms (Sil Lim Tao and Chun Kiu). The man then told Ip man that his forms were “not too great.” [8] . Ip Man was then invited to Chi Sau (a form of training that involves controlled attack and defence), Ip Man saw this as an opportunity to prove his Kung Fu was good, but he was beaten after just a few strikes. It turned out that the old man was his master's elder fellow-disciple (and so, by Chinese tradition Yip Man's martial uncle), Leung Bik (梁璧), son of his master's master Leung Jan (梁赞). After that encounter, Yip Man continued his training lessons from Leung Bik. By the age of 24, Yip Man had returned to Foshan, his Wing Chun skills tremendously improved. [9][10]

In Foshan, Yip Man became a policeman[11]. He did not formally run a Wing Chun school, but taught several of his subordinates, his friends and relatives. Amongst those informal students, Lok Yiu, Chow Kwong-yue (周光裕 (六仔)), Kwok Fu (郭富), Lun Kai (伦佳), Chan Chi-sun (陈志新) and Lui Ying (吕应) were amongst the most well-known. Chow Kwong-yue was said to be the best student among his peers, but eventually he went into commerce and dropped out of martial arts all together. Kwok Fu and Lun Kai went on to teach students of their own. Wing Chun in the Foshan and Guangdong area was mainly passed down from these two indivials. Chan Chi-sun died young, and Lui Ying went to Hong Kong. Neither of them took any students.

Yip Man went to Kwok Fu's village house ring the Japanese Occupation. He only returned to Foshan after the war, to once again take up the job of a police officer. At the end of 1949, after the Communist party won the Chinese civil war, being an officer of the Kuomintang, he decided to escape to Hong Kong without his family when the Communists had come to Foshan.

In Hong Kong, he opened a martial arts school. Initially, business was poor because his students typically stayed for only a couple of months. He moved his school twice, to Hoi Tan Street (海坛街) in Sham Shui Po, and then to Lee Tat Street (利达街) in Yau Ma Tei. By then, some of his students were skilled enough that they were able to start their own schools. Among the first were Leung Sheung, Lok Yiu, Chu Shong-tin, and Wong Shun Leung.

Some of Yip Man's students and descendants compared their skills with other martial artists in combat. Their victories over other martial artists helped to bolster Ip Man's reputation as a teacher.

In 1967, Ip Man and some of his students established the Hong Kong Ving Tsun Athletic Association (香港咏春拳体育会). In 1972, Ip Man suffered throat cancer and subsequently died on the 2nd of December that same year.

Within the three decades of his career in Hong Kong, he established a training system for Wing Chun that eventually spread across the world.

"徒弟选择一个好师傅, 固然困难, 但师傅选择一个好徒弟, 更加困难。" - It is difficult for a student to pick a good teacher, but it is even more difficult for a teacher to pick a good students.[citation needed]

[edit] Films
Main article: Ip Man (film)
A film loosely based on the life of Ip Man was released in 2008 and stars Donnie Yen as the martial artist. The film takes a number of liberties with Ip Man's life, often for dramatic effect. Ip Man's eldest son Ip Chun appears in the film and served as a consultant for the film. The film focuses on Ip's life ring the 1930s to the 1940s ring the Second Sino-Japanese War. The film is the first to be based on the life of Ip Man. A sequel to the film is in the works and will focus on Ip's disciples, which includes Bruce Lee.

Wong Kar-wai is reportedly working on his own biopic titled The Great Master. The film has been in development and will feature Tony Leung Chiu-Wai as Ip Man. However, it was revealed that Wong's five-year rights to make the Ip Man biopic had expired [1].

[edit] Ip Man's Legacy
Ip Man left a huge legacy of Wing Chun behind him, that now spans across the globe. Ip Man also left behind a written history of Wing Chun.[14][15][16] The factual accuracy of Ip Man's account has been debated; however, a translated of Ip Man's History is as follows:

"The founder of the Wing Chun Kung Fu System, Miss Yim Wing Chun was a native of Canton [Kwangtung Province] in China. She was an intelligent and athletic young girl, upstanding and forthright. Her mother died soon after her betrothal to Leung Bok Chau, a salt merchant of Fukien. Her father, Yim Yee, was wrongfully accused of a crime and, rather than risk jail, they slipped away and finally settled down at the foot of Tai Leung Mountain near the border between Yunan and Szechuan provinces. There they earned a living by running a shop that sold bean curd.

During the reign of Emperor K'anghsi of the Ching Dynasty (1662-1722) Kung Fu became very strong in the Siu Lam [Shaolin] Monastery of Mt. Sung, in Honan Province. This aroused the fear of the Manchu government [a non-Chinese people from Manchuria in the North, who ruled China at that time], which sent troops to attack the Monastery. Although they were unsuccessful, a man named Chan Man Wai, a recently appointed civil servant seeking favor with the government, suggested a plan.

He plotted with Siu Lam monk Ma Ning Yee and others who were persuaded to betray their companions by setting fire to the monastery while soldiers attacked it from the outside. Siu Lam was burned down, and the monks and disciples scattered. Buddhist Abbess Ng Mui, Abbot Chi Shin, Abbot Pak Mei, Master Fung To Tak and Master Miu Hin escaped and went their separate ways.

Ng Mui took refuge in the White Crane Temple on Mt. Tai Leung [also known as Mt. Chai Har]. It was there she met Yim Yee and his daughter Wing Chun from whom she often bought bean curd on her way home from the market. At fifteen, with her hair bound up in the custom of those days to show she was of an age to marry, Wing Chun's beauty attracted the attention of a local bully. He tried to force Wing Chun to marry him, and his continuous threats became a source of worry to her and her father. Ng Mui learned of this and took pity on Wing Chun. She agreed to teach Wing Chun fighting techniques so she could protect herself. Wing Chun followed Ng Mui into the mountains, and began to learn Kung Fu. She trained night and day, until she mastered the techniques. Then she challenged the bully to a fight and beat him.

Ng Mui later traveled around the country, but before she left she told Wing Chun to strictly honor the Kung Fu traditions, to develop her Kung Fu after her marriage, and to help the people working to overthrow the Manchu government and restore the Ming Dynasty.

After her marriage Wing Chun taught Kung Fu to her husband Leung Bok Chau. He in turn passed these techniques on to Leung Lan Kwai. Leung Lan Kwai then passed them on to Wong Wah Bo. Wong Wah Bo was a member of an opera troupe on board a junk, known to Chinese as the Red Junk. Wong worked on the Red Junk with Leung Yee Tei. It so happened that Abbot Chi Shin, who fled from Siu Lam, had disguised himself as a cook and was then working on the Red Junk. Chi Shin taught the Six-and-a-half-point Long Pole techniques to Leung Yee Tei. Wong Wah Bo was close to Leung Yee Tei, and they shared what they knew about Kung Fu. Together they shared and improved their techniques, and thus the Six-and-a-half-point Long Pole was incorporated into Wing Chun Kung Fu. Leung Yee Tei passed his Kung Fu on to Leung Jan, a well known herbal Doctor in Fat Shan. Leung Jan grasped the innermost secrets of Wing Chun, attaining the highest level of proficiency. Many Kung Fu masters came to challenge him, but all were defeated. Leung Jan became very famous. Later he passed his Kung Fu on to Chan Wah Shan, who took me and my elder Kung Fu brothers, such as Ng Siu Lo, Ng Chung So, Chan Yu Min and Lui Yu Jai, as his students many decades ago.

It can thus be said that the Wing Chun System was passed on to us in a direct line of succession from its origin. I write this history of the Wing Chun System in respectful memory of my forerunners. I am eternally grateful to them for passing to me the skills I now possess. A man should always think of the source of the water as he drinks it; it is this shared feeling that keeps our Kung Fu brothers together.

Is this not the way to promote Kung Fu, and to project the image of our country?

Ip Man"

Ip Man also filmed three of the five Wing Chun forms before he died. This was because he was afraid that people were changing Wing Chun unnecessarily and so wanted to set a record of how Wing Chun should be performed. Copies of the footage are kept by Ip Man's two sons. The footage has recently been cleaned up e to degradation of the tape since 1972.[17]

Many other artifacts of Ip Mans life are on Display in the "Ip Man Tong" museum in Foushan, China.

Ⅲ 叶问电影的英文名字是

英文：Ip Man。

Ⅳ 电影叶问的英文翻译成IP MAN什么意思

对熟悉粤语的朋友来说，“IP MAN”就比较容易理解，“IP”就是“叶”（yip）字的粤语读音，由于“i”本身可带有辅音“yi”的发音，所以省略掉“y”；“MAN”不用说了，“问”字的粤语读音，近似普通话“慢”字的读音。由于叶问活跃于广东佛山地区，后来去香港，希望电影的原音应是粤语！

Ⅳ 为啥叶问的电影英文名叫IP MAN

电影《叶问》英文名“IP MAN”对很多观众绝对是一头雾水，你说怎么能是“IP人”呢？太时尚了！！

但是对熟悉粤语的朋友来说，“IP MAN”就比较容易理解，“IP”就是“叶”（yip）字的粤语读音，“MAN”不用说了，“问”字的粤语读音，近似普通话“慢”字的读音。由于叶问活跃于广东佛山地区，后来去香港，希望电影的原音应是粤语！不懂粤语的朋友也希望能看看粤语版本，反正现在放映的电影基本都有中文字幕！广东地区的电影拷贝应该会是粤语版本的为主。

Ⅵ 为什么《叶问》的英文翻译是《IP Man》

在粤语中，“叶”字读音的末尾有一个入声，注音时用辅音[p]来表示，形成一个短促的类似于“yip”的语音，简写成IP。

而“问”字在粤语中的发音接近普通话中的“慢”字，只是相对而言也比较短促一些，音调上也有少少区别。

在仔细看一下电影海报中，英文片名的下方就已经标出了读音[eep·mun]。

Ⅷ 电影《叶问》的英文片名为什么叫IP Man

电影《叶问》英文名“IP MAN”对很多观众绝对是一头雾水，你说怎么能是“IP人”呢？太时尚了！！
Ip在这里的真正发音不是“爱批”，而是“以普”（国际音标：/ip/而不是/ai:pi:/）
man是粤语里”wen“系汉字的发音。
看过《侏罗纪公园》没？里面的富翁Mr.Hammond，在港台翻译为“韩文先生”，而不是“哈曼德先生”。

在香港，英文名发音体系和大陆的英文发音体系不一样。转译成英语的时候，为了尊重当事人的生活习惯，一般都按照他的名字本地读音作英文标注。
比如，”王“在中国大陆按照汉语普通话读作”Wang“，而在香港要按照粤语发音读作”Wong‘；
“谢”在中国大陆按照汉语普通话读作“Xie”,而在香港要按照粤语发音读作“Tse”.

所以在英语里，如果这个“王某某”是中国大陆人，他的英文名就要写成”Wang XX“,如果是香港人，就要写成”XX Wong“.以此类推。

对熟悉粤语的朋友来说，“IP MAN”就比较容易理解，“IP”就是“叶”（yip）字的粤语读音，“MAN”不用说了，“问”字的粤语读音，近似普通话“慢”字的读音。由于叶问活跃于广东佛山地区，后来去香港，希望电影的原音应是粤语！不懂粤语的朋友也希望能看看粤语版本，反正现在放映的电影基本都有中文字幕！广东地区的电影拷贝应该会是粤语版本的为主。希望这个回答对你有帮助
